Can you imagine a world without devices running apps such as Snapchat and Instagram created by Computer Scientists? Students who choose AQA Computer Science undertake a varied course which is broadly split into practical programming and problem solving, as well as a more theoretical foundation in how computers operate. There are elements of ethical and legal aspects of computing and also how networks are set up in commercial organisations. Year 12: Learning to program in a high level computer language that can be used to program Windows programs, mobile apps, and text based programs. The written part of the course allows pupils to understand how information is represented in computers; common algorithms and data structures; hardware and networks; and software development. Year 13: The A Level adds much additional detail to the existing areas of computing covered in the first year. It covers functional computer programming, Boolean algebra and logic, Karnaugh Maps and object oriented programming. Learners complete a practical computing project which allows them to work on a real life problem that can lead to entrepreneurial ideas and commercial usefulness.
